Ronald Stevenson is one of Britain's leading composers, and almost
certainly its most prolific. He is best known for his massive
'Passacaglia on DSCH' - at 80 minutes long, the biggest
single-movement work in the piano literature. But he has an
enormous number of other fine works to his credit: a vast corpus of
original and exciting works for the piano, the instrument of which
he is an acknowledged master, a number of innovative and impressive
scores for orchestra (including four concertos), many attractive
pieces of chamber music, and over two hundred songs. Indeed, the
sheer size of Stevenson's output is staggering: the worklist in
this book fills some 75 pages - a body of music which both
testifies to Stevenson's enduring belief in the value of melody and
show him to be alert to the more important developments of the
twentieth century. This collection of essays covers virtually all
of Stevenson's enormous output. It features contributions from a
number of leading authorities: Malcolm MacDonald on the orchestral
music, Ates Orga on the piano works, Alistair Chisholm on the
chamber music, Derek Watson on the songs, Harold Taylor on
Stevenson's pianism, James Reid Baxter on Stevenson's position in
Scottish culture. It also reproduces a selection of Stevenson's
exquisite piano miniatures, in facsimiles of the composer's
calligraphic script.
